👉Halifax council has approved nine new parks for designated homeless encampments to alleviate overcrowding at current sites. As of June 25, the city's four sanctioned sites, designed for 30 people, were sheltering 88 tents or structures. Additional tents were found at Northbrook Park in Dartmouth, the old Halifax Memorial Library, and various urban and rural locations. The council's decision aims to accommodate the growing number of homeless individuals, which now totals 1,316. Staff selected parks that aren't near schools or culturally sensitive areas but are close to transit and services.✅ . 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐞- 𝐀𝐭 𝐚 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮!

👉As Canada's housing crisis deepens, provinces struggle to acknowledge housing as a human right. While Prince Edward Island has legislation recognizing it, critics say it lacks enforcement. The federal housing advocate, Marie-Josée Houle, urges all provinces to adopt similar laws. Dale Whitmore of the Canadian Centre for Housing Rights stresses the need for eviction protections and rent regulation. Provinces like Quebec and Manitoba remain ambiguous in their responses. Houle emphasizes the importance of a human rights-based approach, focusing on people's needs rather than imposing solutions. The failure to act, she warns, perpetuates systemic homelessness.✅ .
